Benji looked around the ring, holding the reins of his black stallion, Skeleton Key aka Skull. Skull was once a wild Friesian, running the Forest Falls. Him and both Benji came along way to come here. Skull was never been trained to jump, and Benji wanted him trained in jumping. He bit his lip, his black hair falling into his eyes. He sighed and slowly slipped the reins over Skulls head and patted his neck softly. Skull nickered and chompped the bit, pawing out wanting to get going. Benji smiled and whispered,"Your ready, aint you".
Benjis hand layed on the mane of the stallion, lifting himself up on the bareback of the brute and her gathered the reins. Skull just stood there and waited, swishing his tail, hitting his hocks. Once Benji was ready, Benji clucked his toung and gave a tap with his heel. Skulls ears pinned and he began to walk forward, his hinddlegs gathering well under his large fram. Benji has never been in a saddle, he always rode bareback, even in Fair shows, they alouded it.
Skull began to trot around the arena, his dome tucked into his check and his teeth clanked the bit as he moved, every muscle under his coat rippled and jerked around. Benji smile at the feel of him working out and giving pleasure to Benji, knowing that his brute was begging. Beni squeezed hard with his legs as he looked to a jump, but pulled the reins to the right and circled it, not ready, he wanted help.

Molly rode into the ring and saw a new boy riding, "Hey! I'm Molly!" Moonview Monopoly shifted under the saddle. "I was planning on riding here. Would you mind if I took off my saddle and ride with you? I am not very good at bareback yet but I like it." Dismounting, she undid the girth and set the saddle on the rail. Leading her morgan to the block, she climbed on and walked around the railing.
(A new instructer is going to come work with them in this thread)

Im Benji, nice too meet you, Mollie" He looked to her and smiled a small smile, but looked down and saw how Skulls ears pinned to his skull. "I dont mind, but please keep a horse lenght away from me, Skull dont like other horses yet" Benji patted Skulls thick neck and looked to the horse Mollie was riding.
Skull snorted and gave a swish of his tail as a warning to the new horse, his auds pinned tigher to his skull, but his mane stopped it from pinning all the way. He shook his head wildly and began to canter, lifting his hindleg off the ground into a buck. Benji pulled the reins up on Skull and stopped the buck geetting into a bigger one.

Molly nodded, "I won't get too close." She looked down now at Molly's ears which quickly laid back also. "Hey." Softly she spoke and the mare's ears perked back up. "There you go." Turning her head up, she saw the large horse rearing. "Are you okay??" She halted and watched him carefully.

After Benji got Skull under control, he sighed and nodded to what she asked him. He loked emmbaressed while he sat upon the large black. Skull snorted and glanced back to the mare. He narrowed his eyes and turned and faced her. SKull through his head up as if he was showing off.

The mare narrowed her eyes to and snorted, not impressed. Turning, she trotted away from him and out to the rail. Molly laughed, "Silly girl." She began to rise and fall at the even trot. After a while, she sat deep and tried not to fumble on the slightly swayed back.

Benji looked to the intrustor and looked away. He was shy sometimes. "Im.. Im Benji and this is Skeleton Key. We call him Skull" He grabbed the thick black, wavy mane of his stud, Skull and clucked his toung for him to pick up his trot again. Skull snorted and flicked his tail and beggan to trot.

Skulls ears pinned flat to his skull, her words bugged him for some reasons. Benji lightly tapped his sides with his heels and Skull picked up a canter, Benji stayed in place. Skull seemed to be smooth at a canter, which he was, but better looking then some horses. Benji tighted his reins and slowed him down back to a walk. "Dont matter, I just came here to train Skull here how to jump. Wev never jumped before", Benji spoke out, looking to the girl and her horse.

Molly smiled, "I am just riding but I would always love some help! Molly is meant for the track, she is really fast. I want to work on her being more collected and try to get her not to hold her head high from the bit." Molly moved her legs and asked for a canter. They sped around the rail and Molly kept her shoulders back to stay balanced without her saddle.

Skull watched the mare when Benji pulled him to a stop, giving a snort he through his head down and then back up. His long many mounted and fell on and off his neck with that through. Benji watched also, looking through his somewhat long black hair. He then looked to the jumps and bit his lip. He only jumped once, but that was for saving wild horses..

Molly laughed at the speed but brought her leg back and her heel down. Shoulders back, she guided Molly at the first jump. It was only 2' but they were warming up. "4, 3, 2, 1." She counted the strides under her breath before going into 2-point and giving Molly a bit of rein over the jump. When they landed, she got back into her position and slowed down to a trot and then a walk. The transitions were a bit rough but it was hard on Moonview Monopoly.

Benji watched and leaned forward, hugging the neck of Skull. Skull snorted and began to walk, making Benji leaned forward quickly. Benji tightened his reins as he picked up a smooth canter, cantering once around the ring and lined up forr the jump. Benji loooked scared as he leaned forward, his shoulders forward to much. Skul snorted and came closer and closer to the jump. He grunted as he lifted off the ground, his front hooves strretching over the pole and his hind legs coing off the ground. He landed hard and stumbled. Benji hit the ground and rolled and just layed there laughing. Skull still went trotting away from everyone and onto the rail. Benji bent his knees and sat up laughing.

Molly was about to dismount but realised that Benji was fine. Smiling, she said, "Nice emergency dismount!" She halted Molly and looked down at him while mounted.

"Ok, then, Let's try stay on!" Erin said sarcasticly. "I think we'll start with a pole on the ground with you" Erin looked at Benji. Then walked over to the jump and put the pole on the floor. "Just walk him over it first so he get used to what he's supossed to do. then try in rising trot then try in rising trot but in your jumping position over the pole,"

Benji glarrred at the girl that set the pole on the ground. He rolled his eyes and stood back up, brushing his ripped up jeans off. He whisled and Skull came to a stop so Benji could grab him. After grabbing Skull, Benji pulled himself onto Skulls bareback and nudged him forward into a walk near to the pole

Molly looked over at the girl that was a couple of years older, "What about me?" She looked over at Benji and smiled. He was a good rider and he could do better. She also knew how it was important to start with the basics.

Benji smiled back and then loked back to the pole, telling Skull to go over it. Skull trotted up to it, but came to a dead stop, and begn to through a fit. Benji growled under his breath and pulled the reins back to back Skul up. Skull bellowed and through his head everywhere. He didnt like things on the ground much, he thought f it as a snake or a small aniaml that scared him. Benji shook his head an kicked SKull into a trot and trotted around it. "Sorry", Benji whispered and looked down

"What would you like to do molly?" Erin asked "and Benji let your reins go a tad more and let skull look at the pole first so he knows its not going to jump out and attack him" Erin smiled and walked over and patted skull on the neck.

Skull felt the hand of the other girl and swung his rump around and tryed to kick, but Benji kickd him so he would move orward quickly. Benji didnt want to telll them that Skull was not use to human touch yet, he was still skittish around Benji. Benji growled under his breath and letted the reins loose as he did a freewalk around the pen. Skull snorted and kept tossing his head, the tingling of the touch still rubbed on him.

"Ok, then I'll set up two jumps one for Molly and one for Benji." Erin said as she walked over and started building a new jump for Molly to jump "How high can you jump Molly?"

Skull watched the mare trot around, his ears priicked and alert. He grunted and tossed his head, Benji patted his thick neck, trying to calm him. His black orbs watched the mare, her movements were fluid, unlike Skulls. Benji watched also, making sure she was on the right lead and she was. He nodded and looked to the jumps, he was not an english type, more like Western and bareback and trick. Benji bit his lip and layed on Skulls back, his feet at Skulls rump. Skull did nothing but stand there, flicking his long black whipe of a tail

Benji glanced to the girl and then looked down. "Hes 5.. Why", he gave an attitude to her but he was alwayys like that. He just stood there and just watched.
